Long Haul Flight with my wheelchair

Hiya!
I’m Ellie and this channel follows me on my journey through life, navigating chronic illness and disability in a world that wasn’t designed for us. I finally flew to mauritius on a long haul flight as a wheelchair user! This is my first long haul flight with my wheelchair and I'm so relieved it went well!

    I'm thinking about posting more videos on my channel. I only have 1 or 2 about Gastroparesis from a few years ago. But since then, I was diagnosed with a few other things including EDS about a month ago. Thank you so much for posting videos.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s a q-tip or a brick, if it goes on my lap it’s falling on the floor. I’ve never mastered carrying stuff and wheeling. 😂 I am flying in a couple weeks!

    Is it a problem as an actress if you change your appearance on holiday by tanning/hair bleaching/etc? Loved this video as I'm waiting on delivery of my first wheelchair and the thought of flying with it terrified me. (Going to the shops in it terrifies me too - just to give a scale ) 😀

    I’m so glad you’ve found this channel because I was exactly the same! I now film things so that I have to actually do them! I took my dog out for a walk alone for the first time 6 years after getting my wheelchair! Hopefully I can show you that it’s not as scary as we all assume! And yes it is a problem with me tanning/changing my appearance so I have to wait for being ‘out of continuity’. It basically means that I have to schedule holidays for when I’m in between filming episodes so that I don’t change in the middle of one!

    I’m floored that you don’t have a huge huge following. I’m also very grateful that you make the videos you do! I’m in the chronic illness/chronic pain community and seeing you living your life (on rest days and fun days and hard days) makes me feel so much less alone. Thank you for being you!

    ain't it annoying being the first one on and last one off? I don't like flying commercial :(

    I actually don’t mind as it means I miss crowds! I wouldn’t mind being the last one on and the last one off though!
